Press Brake Oil Change

Most manufacturers recommend a full hydraulic oil change on a set interval of operating hours or roughly once a year under normal single shift use, whichever comes first. Shops running multiple shifts or heavier tonnage typically need service more often.

Oil grade depends on the specific press brake model and manufacturer specification. Our technicians confirm the correct viscosity and additive package for your machine before starting the service.

In most cases yes, provided the oil has not visibly degraded and there is no unusual noise, leaking, or loss of pressure. If any of those signs appear, it is best to schedule service right away to avoid further wear.

A standard service typically takes a few hours on site, including the drain, refill, filter check, and function test. Exact timing depends on the machine size and its condition.

Degraded hydraulic oil loses its ability to lubricate and transfer pressure efficiently, which can accelerate wear on seals and pumps and lead to inconsistent bending accuracy over time.

Our press brake oil change service is not limited to the GTA. Contact our service team with your location and we will confirm availability for your shop.
